Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 580

Yun Shang smiled and looked at Su Ruying in the bronze mirror. "You are lucky that the Empress adores you and is willing to say intimate words to you. I'll just forget what you said just now. But If I say that in front of others, I'm afraid it would bring trouble to the Empress. It was forbidden for ladies in the imperial household to get involved in politics. If His Majesty knew it, you'll have to face his wrath and punishment."

Su Ruying realized that she had walked into Yun Shang's trap. She gritted her teeth and said, "I am just trying to help. Now rumors said that you are a jealous woman, forcing Prince Rui not to marry any other concubines. People in the State of Xia all think that a man should marry a virtuous woman as his wife. The rumors about you will be unfavorable to both you and Prince Rui.

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Her expression didn't change at all. "Whatever, I am not able to make others shut up. And I don't care what they talk about me. It's my own life, none of their business."

Su Ruying didn't expect such an answer. She paused for a moment and said, "it's not a bad thing for you if Prince Rui marry a concubine. And if she has a good family background, Prince Rui would get more support, which would make it easier for him to get the highest position. Even if Prince Rui marry some concubines, you are still his wife. The higher position Prince Rui gets, the more honorable you are."

After fixing Yun Shang's hair and putting the mandarin ducks hairpin in the bun, Qian Liu lowered her head and asked Yun Shang in a low voice, "Your Highness, do you like it?" Yun Shang nodded and smiled, "Pretty good." Then she turned to look at Su Ruying and asked, "Miss. Su, does the hairpin look good?"

Su Ruying was confused why Yun Shang asked, but she still cast a glance at the hairpin. "The color is bright and the mandarin ducks pattern is exquisite. It looks good."

"That's what I think as well. Qingyan once praised this hairpin, not because how bright the color is or how exquisite the pattern is, just because the pattern of this hairpin is a pair of mandarin ducks. Mandarin ducks are thought to be representing everlasting love. They are also known as love ducks. Once they get separated, they won't be able to live for a long time. They become lonely and keep waiting for their partner to come back till death does them apart. Polygamy is common in the world and most men are changeable and capricious and always had new women around. Qingyan and I love each other deeply and don't want anyone come between us. Those people think it's not good and normal, but how could they understand our happiness unless they experience it themselves?" It's good to have power and wealth, but that might not be what Qingyan and I pursue. Even if it is, we don't necessarily need help from others to get it." Yun Shang flashed a gentle smile, and fixed her eyes on Su Ruying. She hesitated before letting out a sigh.

"I have hold back from saying this, but you are a beautiful and talent girl who is also smart. I want to tell you not all words from the one you thought to be close with you are completely right. The worst thing in a woman's life is marrying a wrong man. If you could marry a right man, you would live a happy life even if she was willing to cook for him herself. If you get married to a wrong man, your husband might cares about other women all day and seldom come back home to see you. I'm afraid you will feel miserable even if you could possess high position and best living condition." A trace of confusion flashed in Su Ruying's eyes. Then the door curtain was lifted up, Qian Zhuo walked in with a bright smile holding the thermos in her hand. Seeing Su Ruying standing in the room, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, but it was quickly covered up. "Your Highness, the water has been changed."

Yun Shang said, "Put it over there. It's not cold here with the brazier."

Qian Zhuo nodded and put the thermos into its fur fox bag. Then she said, "Just now, I saw His Highness and Mr. Liu talking in the yard. His Highness told me that he noticed the fur on your cloak was moistened. He asked me to dry your cloak beside the brazier, or you may feel uncomfortable with the wet fur around your neck."

Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled and nodded, letting Qian Zhuo take off her cloak and dry it for her. Then she turned around to look at Su Ruying and said, "Your hair is also a little wet, ask the maid to dry it." Saying this, she stood up and sat down on a chair nearby.

As if being stabbed by a thorn, Su Ruying suddenly stepped back and shook her head, "No, thanks. I'm going outside to enjoy the plum blossoms. Have a good rest, Your Highness."

Then she turned around and left with her maid.

Seeing this, Qian Zhuo was stunned for a while. She held the cloak and said, "What's wrong with Miss. Su? She seems to have lost her soul."

Yun Shang smiled, put her hands on the armrest, and held her head without saying anything.

Qian Liu snorted coldly, "I wonder how the Su clan educates her into a shameless person. She covets other people's husband and take it for granted. She even said that would be beneficial to Prince Rui and Lady Rui. It's really ridiculous." Hearing Qian Liu's words, Qian Zhuo jumped to her feet and exclaimed, "What?" No wonder she was trying to cotton up to His Highness. And she deliberately dropped her red thread at the same time with Her Highness. Your highness, how about I go with Qian Liu and teach the woman a lesson? "

Yun Shang waved her hand in a hurry and said, "Don't be silly. She is just a spoiled young girl who knows nothing and only obeys the orders of her family. It's a pity that she doesn't know her own mind. Besides, she is the daughter of the Su clan. There is no need to have a conflict with them now."

Qian Zhuo sighed and sat down, drying the cloak in her hand.

Suddenly, they hear bird calls out of the window. Yun Shang recognized it was from the secret guard, but she hasn't ordered anything to them. She raised her eyebrows slightly.
